1/ I'd lead passive and hope partner controls diamonds, low spade.
2/ Anythign can be right, but spades gives is one more trick when it is right so a spade.

1. A♣. I think a passive diamond is an illusion since it will be pickling pard's cards.
2. Low spade.

dunno how to play 4 card majors - JLOGIC
True but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision? - Hideous Hog

On the first one, partner probably isn't 2-3 in the majors, because he might have raised hearts. 3-2 is possible, but it doesn't leave many spades for the opponents. I think partner's most likely shape is 2245.
I'm not sure where that gets us. Either a trump or a club could still be right. Most of the time, though, a club lead will just mean that we ruff something that would have been a trick anyway on a passive lead. I'd lead a trump.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

A couple of small spades.
Assuming partner is 12-14, taking the ace behind the strong hand seems rather panicky.
I do not fear declarer running dummy's diamonds.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

Thats probably why no one suggested it.
